Cheap flights from Gdansk to San Francisco

June is the cheapest month on this route, and the price calendar above lets you compare it with every month that has fares listed: September through February, then April through July. March is missing from the calendar, so it drops out of the comparison. Midweek departures usually give you more choice than a Friday or Sunday flight, and the run-up to Christmas plus the summer school holidays are the stretches to book well ahead. If your dates are open, start with June and check the months on either side before you commit.

Nobody flies Gdansk to San Francisco non-stop, so every itinerary is a connection, usually through a European hub. LOT Polish Airlines is the natural starting point from Poland, and Scandinavian Airlines, Finnair and KLM Cityhopper feed the route through their home hubs. American Airlines, United Airlines and Air Canada cover the long Atlantic legs, while Condor and the regional names Braathens Regional Aviation and Nordic Regional Airlines appear on shorter connections. Full-service carriers usually include a checked bag and meals; lighter fares may not, so read what each ticket covers before you book.

San Francisco International is the airport you land at on this route, sitting south of the city on the bay side, well outside the centre. BART trains connect the terminals with downtown and are the simplest way in if you are travelling light, while shared shuttles and taxis drop you at the door but take longer in traffic. Allow extra time on arrival: immigration queues at a big international gateway can be slow, and if you have a separate onward booking, leave a comfortable gap. Check which terminal your flight uses, since the airport is large and the walk between gates can be long.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Confirm your first leg leaves from Gdansk Lech Walesa Airport and note which terminal it uses.
• Check how long the connection is, because a short change in a big hub is the most common way to miss the long-haul flight.
• Look at whether both legs sit on one ticket, since separate bookings mean no help if the first flight is delayed.
• Read the baggage rules for each carrier, as lighter fares may not include a checked bag on the transatlantic leg.
• Check that your passport and any US entry authorisation are valid well before departure.
• Compare June against the other months with published fares before you lock in your dates.
